Pros:
– Coburn has a compact build, but Coburn is a crafty edge player who is very good against the run. He sets the edge and effectively wards off blocks with a strong core, powerful limbs, and natural leverage.
– He’s extremely thick through the lower body, and he uses his natural leverage to win at the point of attack, often requiring a double team.
– He’s quick to react and locate the ball, and he shows enough speed to succeed in backside pursuit. Coburn plays with excellent balance and a strong, flexible core, rarely ending up on the ground.
– Provides some secondary interior pass rush, getting most penetration when playing three technique.
– Strong tackler. Has good power in hands and can anchor, shed, and chase.
– Plays with leverage at the point of attack whether inside or outside. Keeps eyes in the backfield when inside; moves linemen to either side with strong hands.
Cons:
– Coburn struggles with leverage off the snap and plays too tall, limiting his effectiveness as a pass rusher.
– Lacks closing speed and inconsistent quickness off the snap prevents him from being an elite pass rusher.
– Coburn is on the short side, and Coburn too often relies on his ability to overpower blockers rather than developing a repertoire of pass-rush moves.
Summary:
In 2020 as a junior Coburn played in 10 games and contributed on 391 snaps. He recorded 16 tackles, 4 assists while making 15 stops. As a pass rusher, he produced 9 total pressures, which included 8 QB hurries, no QB hits, and one sack on the year.

As a pass rusher, he tallied 28 total pressures, which included 22 QB hurries, 2 QB hits, and a decent 4 sacks on the season. Coburn adds the size and physicality the Bucs need at the position.
